Another Monster QB Contract Spells Hefty Cash-In for Aaron Rodgers

While the president was delivering his first State of the Union Address, the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins were hard at work in the midst of it all.

Terez Paylor of The Kansas City Star reported that the Chiefs agreed to trade quarterback Alex Smith to the Redskins. In exchange, the Redskins were reportedly seconding a third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

The blockbuster trade that occurred Tuesday night put the future of Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins into question -- even more so than it already was after being smacked with the non-exclusive franchise tag in 2016 and the exclusive franchise tag a year later -- and offered a chance at rejuvenation for Smith.
